In announcing the distributorships, TMB is underlining its confidence in a buoyant European market. In fact, with the popularity of the PowerPAR taking off, it was essential to expand the European network quickly. Both companies also distribute Wybron, whose Eclipse II dimming shutter was on display mounted on a PowerPAR at SIEL. The Eclipse II is a perfect device for the PowerPAR, turning it into a dimmable fixture and opening further applications for the unit. The PowerPAR continues to grow in popularity for a variety of applications. The fixtures have recently been installed by Lighting Technology at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. In the US, LSD Fourth Phase used over 200 for a massive car launch, and PowerPARs have also been specified for car launches in Germany and Sweden. PowerPARs - in conjunction with the Eclipse II - have also been specified through Westsun Show Systems for the 2nd US National Tour of Mamma Mia.
